ConversionFunctions

New 2.0.0 ConversionFunction

Changes & fixes:

  • Replaced: StringFromCharPtr to SBytePointerWithStringForAdvanced StringFromHeap to SBytePointerWithString CharPtrToString to StringwithSBytePointer
  • Added: new functions for sbyte ** and string[] SByteDoublePointersWithStringArray ( Fixed and add NativeMemory, Thanks Jan Kotas!!! ) StringArrayWithSByteDoublePointers
  • Updated to 2.0.0

How does it work? If you use sbyte* for string like example in X11's XOpenDisplay() or SDL_SetWindowTitle()

For X11 from TerraFX.Interop.Xlib

....
Display *display = XOpenDisplay(SBytePointerWithString(string.Empty));
....

Or for SDL3 from DeafMan1983.Interop.SDL3

....
SDL_SetWindowTitle(window, SBytePointerWithString("Hello SDL3 Window"));
....

For string for sbyte * like example X11's XDisplayString() or SDL3's SDL_GetWindowTitle()

....
string d_str = StringWithSBytePointer(XDisplayString(display));
....

or SDL3

....
string title_str = StringWithSBytePointer(SDL_GetWindowTitle(window));
....

And new more functions:

For string[] for sbyte ** like you use delegate *unmanaged[Cdecl]<sbyte **, int, void> or delegate *unmanaged[Cdecl]<sbyte **, int, int> and It works for Game, Application they can load external native library but I have tested with Console.WriteLine() It is successfully. But I never did other like Winfows.Forms or Xlib, SDL3 I will see how does it work for external native libraries.

....
string[] args = StringArrayWithSByteDoublePointers(sArrays, array_length);
....

Warning It is important for [UnmanagedCallerOnly] and it uses sbyte ** and int for array_length If you pass string[] args from Program.cs then you need add SByteDoublePointersWithStringArray

Example:

sbyte **sArrays = SByteDoublePointersWithStringArray(args);
pfnMainFunc(sArrays, args.length);
....

And I have updated already in Nuget.org
